Those dots are used by different teams for different things, like a particularly good play or good tackle. Kinda like what a letter used to mean to kids in high school in the 50's...except try to get your girlfriend to wear your helmet.

The tradition of placing Buckeye Leaves on the Ohio State helmets started in 1968 when Woody Hayes and longtime trainer Ernie Biggs changed the look of the Ohio State uniforms. The new look included names on the back of the jerseys and a wide “Buckeye stripe” on the sleeves of the jersey believed to be the first of its kind in the sport of football.

Each one represents a great play made by the player that owns the helmet. Except at F.S.U. where every time a player has sex with a cheerleader, he gets a little tomahawk for his helmet.

Actually a lot of schools do this some do it to mark # of tackles or other types of performances on the field.

You get one every time you pat another players butt...
You only get it after patting after a good play.
